I have to admit that I dont understand the details of VAT, not living directly with it, but as for US Customs import duty charges, it matters a great deal what is written down on the shipping paperwork. If they put a value of $499 (new eDGe) then thats the tax. When I ship things, or have them shipped to me, I always call it "Used Electronics" with a value like $25. Saves alot on taxes!
